Sailing Through The Marble Rocks

Sailing Through The Marble Rocks @ Jabalpur, MadhyaPradesh


After the plunge at Dhuandhar, the Narmada river scratches its flow through a narrow valley having steep rocky walls n high cliffs on either sides, engraving a beautiful gorge on the Central Indian landmass.


Near Bhedaghat area of Jabalpur, row boats are available for guided trip on the river along the marble rocks. The boat gradually passes through marble rocks of various colors n shapes shimmering under the sun light.




In most of the cases, the boat man narrates some story relating love n the marble rocks in a comic style mixing with it latest released blockbuster musics which surely generates amusement among the boat-passengers(tourists).


While sailing on the boat, one can see 10-12 yr aged  kids diving into the water from the high cliffs to entertain the tourists. They charge minimal bucks for their act but the act brings most of the visitors heart into their mouths.  


The "marble rocks" is supposed to be a heavenly sight on a moonlit night which causes the boat charges to hike a bit on full-moon nights.
